get a smarty or look into the new EFI live coming soon! Tires are a bit big to shut anybody down unless you get a turbo and sticks! Lucky for you your neighbor has a ford just race him a few times he'll blow it up! Then you can tow him home for the ultimate smack down!

If you are just trying to make it smoke stick a rag in the turbo but if your looking for more power I would decide how much more power you are wanting and start from there. There are so many choices from 40 hp tuners to 200 hp chips it just depends on how big you wanna go and how much money you want to spend.

I have the same year truck as you man...... I have about the same mods..... I bought a superchip and I hate it! Go with a smarty, you can change the settings to get your smoke and power! You don't have to do mods to put that chip in. Another good mod though is a fuel lift, an injectors! Don't listen to the guy up there, black smoke for diesel is AWESOME! Don't get me wrong though, the more power you have, the more smoke you'll get! You can do superchips if your on a budget, but honestly it's a waste of time!

I assume your talking about me?
Its reasons like this that people my age will never see the fun side of this sport and way of life for some like others have because we have to many kids out there with mommy and daddys credit cards spending unearned money because they wanna blow smoke. I mean dear god what ever happened to liking the smoke as a byproduct of power? Why would you want to just shoot for smoke? If you want smoke cover the freakin air filter up with a trash bag.

I see both sides of the argument but if your going to waste fuel on smoke id rather be wasting it making power but to each your own we all waste money in different ways
